I might have missed it, but what did you use to cut and shape the SS liner?
I had a buddy with access to a huge sheet metal shear chop me some strips from the sheet I bought. Next, draw (Sharpie pen) the shape on them from template I had made, bust out the Dremel tool with a 1-1/2" diameter EZ Lock metal cutting disk and go at it. :mastermind:

Looks great chong. Where's the stop pin?
When are you going to make your own? I want one. Tell me, tell me your plans. I know you have them. What blade thickness, what blade shape, cutting edge length, peasant sized? You gonna put a hole in the blade?

Thanks willy! I'll drill for the stop pin after I finish the other handle.
I've started planning my own design of friction folder already, smaller than the mini peasant. I'll have to get someone to make my blades (4 of them), don't have the tools for the kind of work but all the rest I can do myself.
Blade thickness- Thin... .080-.100"? Cutting edge length- 2 inch Blade shape- Tanto (my way!) Blade steel- ? Hole in the blade- Yes, not round though.

Worked on the handles some more last night and again this morning. I'm not happy with the color of the micarta but wanted to go ahead and finish, good practice for gaining skills.
Thanks Doc! I'm showing the good side, the other looks like lizard shit. I sent a messenger to the micarta source, politely complaining about the scales not matching. They are sending me another pair shortly. I'll hang on to them for a future knife.

Yeah this is what I remember. I thought there'd be more.
Do more chong and take more pic!

Chong, I can send you that polished Peasant blade if you want to try and do something with it. I doubt I'll ever finish it. Its the big one and not the mini though.
